A immense problem is the fact that it needs the inner bark of six trees to gather enough Taxol to treat one patient !

Further reactions were then carried out to produce the final product taxol.
Having created the fused A, B and C ring system, Nicolaou then went on to complete the total synthesis of taxol.
In contrast, Taxol resistance is not related to tumor differentiation.
In group 2, prospectively analyzed, were 14 patients treated with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy and concurrent taxol.

It would take six 100-year old trees to provide enough taxol to treat just one patient.
Such a novel mode of action was believed to make taxol a prototype for a new class of anticancer drugs.
These reactions outline the general route that Holton employed to synthesize taxol.
